My first update since we switched to the new forum. For you guys that don't know me- getting a model done within a typical Group Build window is rare. This one is going to meet the deadline ! Here is the inspiration pic again: This is how I left it today- Rear Front Overall shot: Side view. I made the side fenders out of aluminum sheet- the front are Aber and the rear are Dragon kit parts. Rear engine deck- the air intakes are widely available as Photo-etch parts. But I like the kit parts- takes a while to sand them down- but worth it I think. Here is a side view with the suspension in place. The roadwheels are from Tank workshop. the rubber is burnt off- which is just what I needed for this one. The suspension is deliberately lowered because if you look at the inspiration pic you can see the suspension springs failed with the heat of the fire. Last but not least- fruil tracks ready to go on. It is getting there! So I am a happy guy . Steve

Hey All The bench and surrounding area surfaced after cleaning up the debris from the Diana dio. All the paints and brushes were put away,sand,rocks,kitty litter and pigments swept up. Do you guys just let stuff pile up around the perimeter of your work site while building like I do? Once the clean up was completed the search for the SU-76 remaining parts commenced. Not an easy task, the wife had rearranged things since putting it away. The 76 was here,the kit box with the rest of the parts and pieces over there and my reference book under a stack of papers in a file cabinet. Tomorrow i'll be ready to make another mess now that i've found everything. See Ya Then Tony lee

Evening all, Well....I said I'd kick off the 'Raider straight away,and here is the result of a few hours today Still have to add detail,and the IP,and some generic seat belts,if I can find refs. Wings started and U/C bays sorted. Ordnance load ready for a little clean up and paint,and finally,both halves of the fuselage,with a couple of minor sinks repaired,and side airbrakes fitted closed. The external tweaks I need to do,will happen when the 'pit is in,and the fuselage is joined.

Steve, some nice work happening there mate, looking forward to the next update.
Tony, glad you found your parts. I confess I let everything build up around me as well when I'm building and then a big clean up before the next build and I have to get it all out again, I think I would be happier with a bigger table ;D.
Chris, looking good mate and the time spent masking really paid off.
ChrisB, nice start, looks and interesting office.
cheers
Rossco

OK,gentlemen,...as promised,my first update of the day. I drybrushed the 'pit added the IP,and belts I then fitted the pit,and joined the fuselage together Can't see much now Next a couple of shots of the main airframe,minus the antennae not needed,and the beacon on top of the tailplane The putty in the top view,is where I removedthe rectangular part seen in the early piccies....and you'll also note that all the weapons pylons are fitted. There might be a bit more to come a bit later ;D

Moving beyond Primer Rob. :-) Here is the hull in Tamiya Black and Brown mix- thinned 1:1 with Tamiya's yellow cap thinner. The turret: The wheels: I let that cure for an hour while I figured out where the charred metal was going to stop and the painted metal was going to start. Then I sprayed on AK Interactive 4BO green base from the Russian modulation set. Rob is coaching me through this so thanks Rob! I have never scorched a tank so I would appreciate any tips anyone wants to throw out. Next step is hairspray! Steve

Good to see the paint on her Steve. The dark brown is perfect...same color I use. Don't think you need the HS now, unless it's under the green. Now you can go to town on the burnt areas. Just mix things up and add the layers. Check out the post by Edi on his knocked out T-34 in the rusty category. There is also a great ref pic for you.
